Consult Orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation & specific management.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXX,
Welcome to Health care magic . A number of expert doctors are available on the site & answers to queries are provided promptly by them.
I have read your query in detail & understand your concern.
The knee problem that started with an accident.. followed by fluid collection in the joint.. efficiently treated with fluid drainage/ rest cold packs, recurred after 5 months of accident after physical stress , restricting daily activities -definitely needs further investigations to evaluate the exact cause of the problem & it's treatment.
The fluid collection in the joint was a body reaction to the fall. It can be due to strong jerk/ trauma to the joint & recurrence may indicate
- need of more rest to the part & stress to the non healed joint,
- it's also possible that the fall has caused some more severe injury to the joint parts ( Injury to ligaments( meniscus)/ bursae / tendons ) - which need to be managed .
X ray reveals bone structure of joint .. & to evaluate complete joint injury a detailed study with investigations like MRI would be helpful... So this followed by specific treatment of the cause along with rest/ physiotherapy & medicines as per expert advise..would complete the treatment & give you full relief.
I would therefore advise for consultation of an Orthopedic surgeon ( & specific knee surgeon as per his advise )for specific management.
Hope.. the answer is informative & useful for you. Any more information you need, please feel free to ask.
Thanks.
